(this list is making the email rounds, i have no idea how old it is)

Why Soccer Is More Popular In Socialist Countries
  • Mindless activity is applauded.
  • No one understands the rules.
  • Players, coaches, officials, and fans are 100% devoted to the game, and yet its total (scoring) output is miniscule.
  • Workers are prohibited from using the tools - hands - that would let them be more productive.
  • The referees wear red.
  • Officials often interfere with play in such a way as to limit production.
  • Any production is met by celebration completely out of proportion to its objective value.
  • Followers are religiously devoted to the system, and resort to violence at any criticism (real or imagined) of either.
